"Never be afraid to say, 'well, crap, that didn’t work'. It's only when you’re willing to destroy your original idea entirely that you'll progress to a better one. As the writer’s line goes, 'murder your darlings'.
"Play. Play play play. Fidget and twitch and be vaguely maniacal when you're trying something new. Play with prims, learn what they can do, stretch them to their limits and then compress them intensely.
"And, really--be thrilled when you do something you've never been able to do before. (You should have heard my squeal of joy the first time I ever linked two prims together.) No achievement is too small to be celebrated."
